Definitions

  • the present invention concerns an absorbent article such as a sanitary napkin or incontinence pad comprising an absorbent core having an opening
  • Absorbent articles of the kind that is worn inside ordinary underpants include absorbent napkins or pads for adult incontinence or feminine use.
  • the napkins or pads are generally provided with an absorbent core to receive and retain body liquids.
  • the absorbent core In order for such absorbent articles to function efficiently, the absorbent core must quickly acquire body liquids into the structure from the point of application and subsequently distribute the body liquids within and throughout the absorbent core to provide maximum leakage containment.
  • An acquisition/distribution layer in connection to the core and an opening of the core aids when subsequent insults are directed to the same local area as previous insults, as the local area tends to be already filled with liquid from the previous insult.
